I prayed for this in Jesus Name.
We lift you up before the Father in heaven, knowing that He cares deeply for your well-being, both in body and spirit. The struggles you face with insomnia and depression are heavy burdens, but we serve a God who invites us to cast all our anxieties upon Him, for He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). Sleep is a gift from the Lord, a time of restoration and renewal, and we know that He neither slumbers nor sleeps as He watches over you (Psalm 121:4).
Yet, we must also acknowledge that the peace you seek cannot be fully found apart from a right relationship with Jesus Christ. Your request does not mention His name, and we gently but urgently remind you that it is only through Jesus that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we implore you to do so—He alone is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6) and the source of true rest for your soul (Matthew 11:28-30). Without Him, even the deepest sleep cannot bring the lasting peace your heart longs for.
The depression you carry may feel overwhelming, but take heart in knowing that God is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). He sees your pain and invites you to trust in Him, for He has promised to never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:8). We encourage you to meditate on His Word day and night, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Fill your mind with Scriptures that speak of His faithfulness, such as Philippians 4:6-7: *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."*
We also urge you to examine your life for anything that may be hindering your peace—unconfessed sin, bitterness, or a lack of trust in God’s sovereignty. Repentance and surrender are key to experiencing His fullness of joy (Psalm 51:10-12). If there are areas in your life that are not aligned with His Word, we pray you would turn away from them and seek His forgiveness and cleansing.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of this precious soul who longs for rest and relief from the weight of insomnia and depression. Lord, You know the sleepless nights and the weariness that comes from a body and mind that cannot find peace. We ask that You would grant them the gift of deep, restorative sleep—eight hours of uninterrupted rest, just as their body needs. Quiet their mind, Lord, and still the anxieties that keep them awake. Let them lie down in peace and wake refreshed, for You are the one who grants sleep to those You love (Psalm 127:2).
We also lift up the depression that weighs so heavily upon them. Father, You are the God of all comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3-4), and we ask that You would wrap them in Your love and fill them with Your joy. Break the chains of despair and replace them with hope in You. Remind them that their worth is found in Christ alone, and that You have a purpose and a plan for their life (Jeremiah 29:11).
Lord, if there is any sin or stronghold in their life that is contributing to this struggle, we pray You would convict them by Your Holy Spirit and lead them to repentance. Help them to surrender every area of their life to You, trusting that Your ways are higher and Your love is unfailing.
We pray all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, for there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). May they find their rest in Him, both now and for all eternity. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to seek godly counsel, whether through a pastor, a mature believer, or a biblical counselor who can walk with you through this season. You do not have to carry this alone—the body of Christ is here to support and uplift you. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).
